A47361	An answer to Mr. Marlow's Appendix Wherein his arguments to prove that singing of psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, was performed in the primitive church by a special or an extraordinary gift, and therefore not to be practised in these days, are examined, and clearly detected. Also some reflections on what he speaks on the word hymnos, hymnos: and on his undue quotations of divers learned men. By a learned hand. By B. Keach.	Keach, Benjamin, 1640-1704.	1691 (1691)	Wing K43A; ESTC R223737	27,870	57

of_o all_o gospel-ordinance_n in_o these_o day_n ergo._fw-la that_o assertion_n be_v vile_a and_o pernicious_a the_o major_n can_v be_v deny_v the_o minor_a i_o have_v abundant_o prove_v in_o this_o treatise_n in_o sect._n 4._o you_o seem_v to_o answer_v what_o we_o say_v about_o sing_v be_v a_o moral_a duty_n which_o you_o say_v be_v the_o refuge_n of_o some_o who_o can_v maintain_v their_o practice_n of_o formal_a sing_v by_o gospel-institution_n append._n pag._n 27._o answ_n you_o mistake_v we_o need_v no_o gospel-institution_n it_o be_v as_o clear_v a_o precept_n in_o these_o scripture_n ephes_n 5._o 19_o col._n 3._o 16._o as_o any_o we_o have_v in_o the_o new-testament_n but_o we_o say_v sing_v the_o praise_n of_o god_n be_v more_o than_o a_o mere_a positive_a duty_n what_o you_o further_o say_v under_o this_o head_n do_v but_o betrary_n your_o own_o ignorance_n about_o moral_a precept_n and_o needs_o no_o answer_n i_o have_v full_o explain_v it_o in_o this_o treatise_n be_v it_o absurd_a and_o irrational_a for_o we_o to_o make_v the_o moral_a law_n or_o light_n of_o nature_n a_o rule_n to_o exert_v the_o worship_n of_o god_n see_v append._n p._n 28._o it_o be_v not_o so_o much_o the_o matter_n of_o moral_a duty_n as_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o performance_n of_o they_o that_o render_v they_o spiritual_a and_o for_o the_o more_o orderly_a and_o spiritual_a performance_n of_o such_o duty_n that_o be_v in_o their_o own_o nature_n moral_a they_o be_v bring_v under_o gospel-institution_n as_o prayer_n preach_v and_o sing_v the_o praise_n of_o

your_o appendix_n you_o repeat_v your_o former_a objection_n against_o woman_n sing_v in_o the_o church_n because_o the_o apostle_n say_v he_o suffer_v not_o a_o woman_n to_o teach_v nor_o usurp_v authority_n over_o the_o man_n but_o to_o be_v in_o silence_n so_o that_o christ_n say_v you_o make_v it_o a_o usurpation_n of_o authority_n for_o a_o woman_n to_o teach_v or_o to_o speak_v or_o any_o way_n to_o break_v her_o silence_n in_o the_o church_n but_o then_o say_v you_o it_o be_v object_v these_o scripture_n that_o forbid_v woman_n teach_n and_o speak_v in_o the_o church_n do_v intend_v only_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v the_o mouth_n of_o the_o church_n as_o in_o prayer_n and_o doctrine_n etc._n etc._n to_o this_o objection_n against_o your_o exposition_n of_o these_o scripture_n you_o give_v your_o answer_n 1._o that_o such_o a_o sense_n as_o this_o we_o speak_v of_o be_v against_o the_o letter_n of_o these_o text_n 2._o by_o assert_v that_o in_o sing_v together_o there_o be_v teach_v instruction_n and_o admonition_n pag._n 34._o answ_n this_o kind_n of_o argue_v against_o woman_n sing_v we_o have_v all_o ready_a full_o refute_v but_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o our_o good_a woman_n and_o to_o detect_v this_o falsity_n i_o shall_v add_v a_o word_n or_o two_o further_a in_o way_n of_o reply_n it_o be_v a_o hard_a case_n that_o woman_n shall_v be_v debar_v to_o speak_v in_o any_o sense_n or_o any_o way_n to_o break_v silence_n in_o the_o church_n as_o you_o affirm_v through_o a_o mistake_n of_o the_o text._n 1._o for_o than_o they_o must_v not_o ask_v a_o friend_n how_o he_o or_o she_o do_v when_o in_o the_o congregation_n 2._o she_o must_v not_o be_v suffer_v to_o be_v a_o evidence_n in_o the_o church_n against_o any_o offender_n in_o the_o case_n of_o discipline_n 3._o then_o she_o must_v not_o ask_v where_o the_o text_n be_v if_o she_o come_v too_o late_o for_o that_o be_v in_o some_o sense_n a_o speak_n and_o break_v silence_n 4._o nor_o must_v she_o then_o say_v amen_o at_o the_o close_a of_o prayer_n for_o that_o be_v a_o break_a silence_n 5._o which_o be_v worst_a of_o all_o she_o must_v not_o in_o the_o church_n give_v a_o account_n of_o her_o conversion_n or_o declare_v how_o the_o lord_n be_v please_v to_o work_v upon_o her_o heart_n for_o i_o have_v show_v in_o that_o act_n there_o be_v much_o instruction_n nay_o it_o be_v so_o full_a of_o teach_v to_o other_o that_o what_o some_o pious_a woman_n have_v speak_v in_o the_o church_n upon_o this_o account_n god_n have_v bless_v to_o the_o conversion_n of_o sinner_n as_o well_o as_o it_o have_v refresh_v and_o sweet_o comfort_v divers_a believer_n and_o therefore_o herein_o you_o abuse_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o indeed_o be_v not_o i_o fear_v fit_a to_o be_v a_o teacher_n of_o other_o but_o to_o learn_v in_o silence_n yourself_o 2._o the_o way_n therefore_o to_o understand_v this_o as_o well_o as_o other_o scripture_n be_v to_o have_v recourse_n to_o the_o main_a drift_n or_o purport_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n therein_o and_o evident_a it_o be_v the_o main_a thing_n the_o apostle_n drive_v at_o in_o both_o these_o place_n or_o do_v intend_v be_v this_o viz._n that_o woman_n ought_v not_o to_o be_v allow_v to_o take_v part_n in_o the_o ordinary_a ministration_n of_o preach_v the_o gospel_n or_o ministerial_o or_o authoritative_o to_o preach_v the_o word_n because_o he_o that_o have_v receive_v a_o just_a call_v so_o to_o do_v may_v and_o aught_o to_o exhort_v and_o command_v in_o the_o name_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n with_o all_o authority_n tit._n 2._o 15._o and_o this_o work_n therefore_o woman_n shall_v not_o take_v upon_o they_o because_o they_o must_v be_v in_o subjection_n and_o not_o usurp_v authority_n over_o the_o man._n to_o take_v the_o bare_a letter_n of_o the_o text_n without_o show_v the_o scope_n and_o drift_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n in_o it_o will_v make_v sad_a work_n as_o i_o may_v show_v from_o many_o scripture_n and_o have_v occasion_v many_o abominable_a error_n any_o heresy_n to_o abound_v in_o the_o world_n 3._o as_o to_o that_o teach_n which_o be_v in_o sing_v it_o do_v not_o lie_v in_o a_o ministerial_a way_n and_o therefore_o not_o intend_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n here_o preach_v or_o teach_v be_v not_o sing_v nor_o sing_v preach_v or_o teach_v though_o there_o be_v a_o teach_v in_o it_o you_o must_v learn_v better_a to_o distinguish_v between_o different_a duty_n and_o ordinance_n before_o you_o take_v upon_o you_o to_o teach_v other_o read_v what_o i_o have_v before_o say_v and_o also_o what_o mr._n cotton_n sidenham_n etc._n etc._n have_v say_v as_o you_o will_v find_v it_o repeat_v in_o this_o treatise_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o teach_v and_o admonition_n that_o be_v in_o the_o ordinance_n of_o sing_v and_o you_o may_v further_o see_v how_o you_o miss_v and_o abuse_v these_o scripture_n for_o he_o or_o she_o that_o read_v the_o scripture_n may_v be_v say_v in_o some_o sense_n to_o teach_v there_o be_v much_o teach_n in_o it_o yet_o sure_a a_o woman_n may_v be_v suffer_v to_o do_v this_o as_o a_o case_n may_v present_v itself_o both_o in_o the_o church_n or_o at_o home_n either_o in_o her_o husband_n presence_n and_o not_o be_v deem_v to_o usurp_v authority_n over_o he_o for_o the_o usurpation_n the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o respect_v a_o woman_n own_o husband_n if_o not_o chief_o as_o well_o as_o other_o and_o therefore_o if_o she_o must_v not_o sing_v in_o the_o church_n so_o by_o your_o argument_n she_o must_v not_o sing_v nor_o read_v the_o scripture_n at_o home_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o her_o husband_n because_o there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o teach_v in_o both_o those_o duty_n and_o if_o she_o shall_v as_o you_o intimate_v she_o will_v not_o only_o break_v silence_n but_o usurp_v authority_n over_o the_o man_n i._n e._n her_o head_n and_o husband_n which_o be_v forbid_v the_o lord_n deliver_v poor_a woman_n and_o man_n too_o from_o such_o kind_n of_o doctrine_n as_o this_o 4._o it_o be_v evident_a the_o apostle_n lay_v no_o other_o restraint_n upon_o woman_n than_o what_o the_o law_n lay_v they_o under_o they_o be_v to_o be_v silent_a or_o it_o be_v not_o say_v he_o permit_v unto_o they_o to_o speak_v but_o they_o be_v command_v to_o be_v under_o obedience_n as_o also_o say_v the_o law_n 1_o cor._n 14._o 34._o and_o it_o be_v as_o clear_v they_o be_v always_o under_o the_o law_n suffer_v to_o sing_v in_o the_o congregation_n as_o well_o as_o the_o man_n therefore_o it_o be_v not_o such_o a_o speak_v or_o teach_v as_o be_v in_o sing_v that_o paul_n intend_v in_o those_o scripture_n 5._o whereas_o you_o affirm_v that_o woman_n be_v not_o admit_v to_o pray_v nor_o prophesy_v in_o the_o church_n neither_o in_o the_o old_a nor_o new_a testament_n be_v doubless_a false_a as_o our_o late_a annotator_n well_o observe_v on_o 1_o cor._n 14._o
